Being a Costa Blanca photographer has many perks. With constant sunshine and mild temperatures, these are some of the many perks of being based in Spain. I really enjoy being based on the Mediterranean, and spend a lot of my leisure time in the sea. I have taken up Stand Up Paddling (SUP) and have since been involved in producing a video to promote this sport. I produced this short video for  Surfhouse Calpe, they were the ones who introduced me to stand up paddling. It was filmed on a stunning spring day in Calpe on the Costa Blanca. Freesea a stand up paddle company was searching for a Costa Blanca photographer, and found my facebook posts about my SUP adventures. I was commissioned to do a...

Photographer Spain - shooting luxury yachts. Being a photographer on the Costa Blanca certainly has benefits. I got to photograph a beautiful yacht.   Nordhavn Yachts contacted me to photograph one of their yachts which was going to be put on sale. The yacht belonged to a client and was moored in Spain on the Mediterranean. Nordhavn are based in the UK and decided to search for a photographer based in the Costa Blanca in Spain and found my website. This photography assignment is really quite similar to real estate photography. I had to photograph the exterior on all sides, as well as the lounge, cabins and pilothouse. We agreed to wait for a calm sunny day, to accentuate that Mediterranean vibe that you find on the Costa...

Planning a photoshoot with Covid 19. Lifestyle Fitness, a very popular chain of gyms, with branches all over the UK, booked me for a photo shoot. Of course I jumped at this opportunity. The photos were for their updated website, as well as for print and banner advertising. My brief was to photograph models working out in a gym environment. One of my biggest bugbears when looking at advertising with models, is that most photos fake. It is obvious to see that they are posing and not at all natural looking. We discussed my point of view, and we came to an agreement to shoot realistic and natural looking photos. It was essential that it looked like it happened in a real environment. A lot of...

I will talk about how to use video to promote your business. A professional video production can help optimising your website for search engines, and increase sales or bookings. I was contacted by Marnes - a luxury wellness clinic on the Costa Blanca in Spain to create a promotional video to be used on Youtube and on their website. Bookings had been in decline because of the Covid 19 restrictions, and they were looking to use a video production to reach more potential clients. This is not the first time I have been contracted by a company that wants to use video to promote their business. I find this type of video production really rewarding as I need to ensure the video I create is going...

Saving lost or deleted files on a hard drive. I will talk about how to recover lost files and how to restore accidentally deleted files from a memory card using Disk Drill. As a photographer and video producer I have numerous hard drives with ongoing projects. At some point a hard drive or memory card will become corrupted or fail. It might have even been accidentally deleted or formatted. This happened to me recently. I had three video production projects, all nearly completed. I also had a photographs to edit and send from a shoot on the Costa Blanca. I was transferring the video projects and photo files from one had drive to another, when my hard drive failed and all my video edits and photography projects...

Photographer Spain - as a real estate photographer, I photograph luxury villas for holiday rental companies and property developers. Being a photographer in Spain, interior photography is made so much easier with the regular sunshine we get. Alicante on the Costa Blanca has one of the best yearly sunshine statistics. I recently photographed loft apartment in Alicante, and my client was really happy with the photos.  I was based in the UK as a photographer for 10 years, and to photograph interiors on overcast wintry days was far more complicated. I had to carry at least two lighting setups as well as make sure I had my camera flash with an extra set of batteries ready. [caption id="attachment_4939" align="alignleft" width="800"] The light in the apartment really...

Photography terms and conditions are essential to you photographic business. It can save your reputation as a photographer, a lot of money and most importantly a lot of time. I nearly had a bad experience a couple of years ago, when I was contracted to do a studio photo shoot for Dock Of The Bay, a clothing company based in the UK. I was set to photograph their Autumn range of clothing in a studio I had booked in Leeds. There were also 2 models booked for the day and everything was set. Two days before the photo shoot around 4 large boxes of clothing arrived. They were sealed and upon opening the garments were still packaged and most importantly no creases were ironed out. If...
